Biden Has Green Regulatory Pipedreams; Moscow, Beijing Get Boost
Keep it in the ground: The Biden administration is giving environmental activists what they want by canceling oil pipelines and new drilling projects. Since oil will be shipped via railroad and trucks, this won’t help the environment, and it will kill jobs. (Photo credit: stanley45/iStock/GettyImagesPlus)
Item: Under a headline reading “Biden pushes protection for more streams and wetlands, targeting a major Trump rollback,” the Washington Post noted on June 9 that the “Biden administration is set to toss out President Donald Trump’s efforts to scale back the number of streams, marshes and other wetlands that fall under federal protection, kicking off a legal and regulatory scuffle over the fate of wetlands and waterways around the country, from the arid West to the swampy South. Michael Regan, head of the Environmental Protection Agency, said his team determined that the Trump administration’s rollback is ‘leading to significant environmental degradation.’”
Item: CNN on June 10 reported that the Canadian developer of the Keystone XL pipeline had announced that it “is pulling the plug on the controversial project after the Biden administration revoked its permit in January.” The cancellation, said CNN, “ends more than a decade of controversy over the pipeline and marks a big win for environmentalists who argued the project threatened the environment and would only worsen the climate crisis.”
According to CNN, “On his first day in the White House, President Joe Biden revoked the permit his predecessor granted to Keystone XL, and also moved to re-enter the United States in the Paris climate agreement.”
